Description Name: Jack Fiets
Title: Knight/Knave of Diamonds
Age: 27 (will live longer than a normal human because of his lineage)
Height: 5'10"
Hair: Snowflake white with streaks of blood red
Eyes: Crimson (streaks of violet appear when he uses his ability)
Handedness: Ambidextrous but favours the left
Scars/Marks: Some wounds from fights, but nothing significant. Has a diamond shaped birthmark beneath his left eye.
Love Interest: Chrysalis
Territory: Diamond Empire
Personality: Chivalrous (often to an annoying degree though sometimes done intentionally to annoy). Considerate. Attentive. Warm. However, cold and calculating in a fight.
Mannerisms: Leaning close and touching his fingertips to the face of the person he's talking to when they're being difficult with answers. Pinching the corner if his glasses between his thumb and forefinger and tipping them in a way to catch the light in the glass. Flips between a sweet smile and taunting smirk, audience dependent. Naps more than sleeps because of nightmares.
Likes: Coffee, hazelnut blend (if he can get it). Red meat (medium rare) with caramelized onions. Fish, especially Tarot Pyke with lemon. Otherwise, prefers a vegetarian diet. Milk in coffee only (though that's changing to more because of Chrysalis). Thunderstorms, forked lightning. Fiction novels. the sea-salt scent of the ocean.
Dislikes: Poultry. Juice. Most pasta. Potatoes (exception: yams). Sweets. Deck swabbing. History texts. Being confined to one place for too long.


Background Details *more to come*

**Jack is one of the Card Suits, quadruplet siblings with special abilities that are divided amongst the four main continents. Please see the link in the comments for more details on their lineage and abilities**

Unlike his siblings, Jack disliked staying in the castle of the Diamond territory. He understands his role as its defender, but he quite dislikes being confined. Since his specialty is swordplay, he preferred going out and looking for rule-breakers to discipline. Quite often, he’d be challenged by ambitious individuals, seeking to take down the Knight of Diamonds, not just from enemy territory but the Diamond inhabitants too.

The closest Jack has been to defeat without needing to use the breadth of his ability was at the sword of Captain Angela Diamant, a well-known, mostly respected pirate of the Diamond Seas. She’s also well-known to other territories, though not quite as respected. Being impressed with Jack’s abilities, Captain Angela offered him a place on her crew, a varied band of bounty / treasure hunters, which Jack immediately accepted. Being confined to a ship for days to weeks brought new scenery and new challenges, exactly what he needs to keep his skills sharp. He still defends the Diamond continent, often using his new occupation for reconnaissance and information retrieval, but returning to the castle as its defender when needed. Captain Angela puts his place in her crew at a higher priority than letting him go entirely, so she does give him leave provided his loyalty remains unquestioned. Jack has no reason to risk his new career, so he gives no reason for Angela to doubt him.

Jack has a soft spot for Chrysalis, having saved her from a band of known troublemakers while The ________ (still need a ship name) was docked at Karat Kove. He can’t help wanting to protect her from the world, though this is long before he finds out she is a Wayfinder and she truly does need his protection. She seems fragile to him, ephemeral, as if he could lose her if he turned his head for a moment. He rather enjoys being “her” knight, and often plays the role to excess, much to the chagrin of their shipmates; Chrysalis doesn’t seem to mind though.

Captain Angela has forbidden Jack to use his “Card” ability without her permission, as he is weak to bouts of bloodlust when he uses it. She is currently unaware that Chrysalis has been able to reach him when he loses control.

Card Suit Siblings

Born from the union of a mortal woman, Vanille Tertia, and the demon, Arkanial, these individuals all contain special abilities that are related to their sight. They wear glasses in order to see as an ordinary human.

The abilities were meant to exist in one individual (as is the case with Joker, see below), but Vanille's second pregnancy ended with quadruplets, and the four abilities divided amongst them.

(This is just an overview of their abilities, the limitations, etc. so that I don't have to repeat the information in their profiles.)

Hopefully, if I can pull the world and characters together. Will more likely just be a collection of stories since there are a lot of characters in the world, each with a story to be told. :3
